Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Introductions | Faunafri

North Pacific: Sagami Bay, Japan to the southern Kuril Islands and off Sakhalin, Russia.

Occurs in places with the steepest downthrow and sharp bends of sea bottom often in the places of the slope surrounded by large depths (the steep bottom relief causes vertical turbulent currents that provide the accumulation of food items) (Ref. 26289). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Eggs are extruded in floating gelatinous masses (Ref. 52092).

Estimates of some properties based on empirical models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00000 (0.00000 - 0.00000), b=0.00000 (0.00000 - 0.00000), based on (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.5 se; Based on diet studies.

Resilience (Ref. 69278): Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (70 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
